Episode Fifty of Lilith's Escape

“You’ll see in the
documents that I handed you, that Captain Brandish is a widower, with no
surviving family for you to worry about. He’s in charge of overseeing several
of the prisons behind enemy lines and he has a reputation for his brutal treatment
of prisoners,” Rita told Edward.

“So…he was a
monster and deserved to die, but he also had friends. What’s the cover story on
how I…Captain Brandish managed to escape?” Edward asked. Lilith this whole time
had remained seated and silent, which was fine with Edward. He didn’t want to divert
his attention away from the facts that needed to be memorized.

“That’s where
Scouter comes in. When he delivered your meal to your cell, you attacked him
with a weapon that you put together. You used him as a shield to escape.” Rita
then pulled open a map of Philadelphia. “This was once a Naval Base but now it’s
a prison for people who fight against the power of the Illuminati.”

Edward studied the
map, but it felt odd to be looking at a base that was operational back in his
time, but here and now, was a place of torture and death. “Rita, how am I to
find your husband and Lazarus? This isn’t a small complex.”

“With this,” she
replied and handed him a small ear piece.

“How does it work?”
Edward asked as Rita positioned it in his ear. “Ouch, don’t push so hard,”
Edward exclaimed, thinking that Rita was pushing it past his eardrum.

“It has to go in
far enough not to be seen. It will pick up signals from the
implants on Roger and my husband as soon as you’re near to their location.”

“What’s your
husband’s name?” Roger asked.

“His name is Tom and you better bring
him back to me.”

“It was foolish to
allow yourself to become pregnant in this time of evil,” Lilith said in a smug
tone from the other side of the room.

Edward had
forgotten that she was there, she had been so quiet. “Haven’t you also made bad choices?” Edward asked. When Lilith
didn’t reply, he returned his attention to the soldier in front of him. “I’ll
do my best to bring them all home.”
